TWO OLD STELLENBOSCH SKETCH PRINTS MARKET STREET AND LANSERAC

TWO HISTORICAL OLD SKETCH PRINTS OF ARCHITECTURAL STELLENBOSCH.

THE FIRST ONE DEPICTS THE GRANDIOSE MANO HOUSE ON THE LANSERAC WINE ESTATE WITH PEOPLE IN CLASSICAL DRESS OF THE TIME.

THE SECOND IS TITLED MARKET STREET AND SHOWS A OLD SKETCH OF A HOUSE ON STELLENBOSCH ON MARKET STREET WITH WHAT LOOKS LIKE A WATER CANAL RUNNING IN FRONT OF IT.

THESE TWO SKETCH PRINTS WERE BOUGHT WITH A KNOWN PRINT BY TINUS DE JONGH. THEY HAVE NO MARKINGS THOUGH APART FROM THE TITLES AT BACK. ALTHOUGH TINUS DE JONGH WAS KNOWN FOR HAVING DONE SOME SKETCHES OF STELLENBOSCH ARCHITECTURE I COULD NOT ESTABLISH THAT THESE WERE PRINTS OF SKETCHES DONE BY HIM.

MARKET STREET:

MARKET STREET LIES IN THE HISTORIC HEART OF STELLENBOSCH. IT HAS IN THE PAST BEING KNOWN ITS interesting architectural complex of houses, which dates mainly from the 19th century.

 
LANSERAC STELLENBOSCH:

Steeped in history dating back to 1692, Lanzerac Wine Estate is a historic landmark and Stellenbosch icon. Having been established in 1692 a mere 13 years after Stellenbosch itself and is the third oldest farm in the area.
In the early 1800s the first cellar was erected and subsequently complemented by the iconic Manor House, which exhibits an unusually high level of sophistication for Cape Dutch architecture of the period with its main gable dating back to 1830.
The Lanzerac wine estate has been under current ownership since 2012. Extensive renovations begun early in 2013. In the early hours of Sunday morning, 28 May 2017, a tragic fire severely damaged the main operational areas of the Hotel.
On the first of July 2018 the Lanzerac proudly re-opened its doors to the public, characterised by the same glory, legacy and country chic she has been known for over the decades.
